Struct ModelSerializer 

pub struct ModelSerializer { /* private fields */ }

Re-exported serialization utilities.

This includes model persistence with versioning, metadata tracking, and support for multiple serialization formats. Main serializer with configurable format and compression.

Provides a unified interface for saving and loading models with consistent error handling and metadata management.

Implementations

impl ModelSerializer

pub fn new() -> Self

Creates a new serializer with default settings (Bincode + compression).

pub fn with_compression(self, compression: bool) -> Self

Enables or disables gzip compression.

Arguments

• compression - true to compress (default), false for uncompressed

Returns

Self with updated compression setting (builder pattern)

pub fn with_format(self, format: SerializationFormat) -> Self

Sets the serialization format.

Arguments

• format - SerializationFormat to use

Returns

Self with updated format (builder pattern)

pub fn save_model<T: Serialize>( &self, model: &T, metadata: &ModelMetadata, path: &Path, ) -> SerializationResult<()>

Saves a model to disk with metadata.

Automatically creates parent directories if they don’t exist.

Arguments

• model - Model to serialize (must implement Serialize)
• metadata - Model metadata
• path - Destination file path

Returns

Ok(()) on success, SerializationError on failure

pub fn load_model<T: DeserializeOwned>( &self, path: &Path, ) -> SerializationResult<(T, ModelMetadata)>

Loads a model from disk with metadata.

Automatically detects format and compression from file content.

Arguments

• path - Path to model file

Returns

Tuple of (deserialized_model, metadata)

Errors

Returns error if file doesn’t exist, format is invalid, or version mismatch

pub fn validate_model_file( &self, path: &Path, ) -> SerializationResult<ModelMetadata>

Validates a model file without loading the full model.

Useful for checking version compatibility or file integrity.

Arguments

• path - Path to model file

Returns

Metadata if validation succeeds

Trait Implementations

impl Default for ModelSerializer

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
